Back to EpisodesThe Succession Plan You’ll Never Use (Unless You Test It)
Description
Most succession plans look great on paper—until the pressure hits. In Episode 21 of the Talent Sherpa Podcast, Jackson Lynch explores why tabletop exercises are the secret weapon behind real-world succession readiness.
It’s not about testing people—it’s about testing whether the plan will actually be followed when it matters most.
You’ll learn how tabletop scenarios expose quiet hesitations, force real-time decisions, and help teams refine their plans before a crisis hits.
Featuring a classic Jimmy moment (he means well), this episode will challenge how you think about “ready-now” and whether your plan is really built for the moment it’s supposed to serve.
